By Iyojo Ameh

The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Friday led a high-powered delegation of wives of National Assembly members and state governors to the Kaduna residence of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.

The delegation was received by former First Lady, Dr. Aisha Buhari, in a visit marked by moments of compassion and solidarity. Senator Tinubu conveyed the nation’s condolences, assuring Dr. Buhari and her family of continued prayers and support in their period of mourning.

Those who accompanied the First Lady included the Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima; the Wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hajia Fatima Tajudeen Abass; the Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Amb. Dr. Olufolake Abdulrasaq; and the Wife of the Kaduna State Governor, Hajia Hafsat Uba Sanni, among others.

Friday’s visit comes less than a month after Senator Tinubu led a similar condolence delegation to the late president’s hometown of Daura on July 19, where she was joined by wives of governors, ministers, and spouses of service chiefs.
